We are excited to announce the launch of our new children’s program starting October 10th.

Two of our amazing staff members, Wendy and Doyle, will be directing a program for the younger Sox Place “kids” which will involve constructive games, crafts, and a specifically designed curriculum. This program will also provide much-needed access to food, clothing, toiletries, and other resources for young children and their parents. As always, we will be building intentional, one-on-one relationships with children and their parents, while providing them with the resources they need to properly care for their children.

This program, for children ages two and up, will begin on Thursday, October 10th at 2:30 and will run until 3:30 in the upstairs loft of our drop-in center.

We are looking for volunteers to help us care for these children. This position would involve volunteering once a week or more between the hours of 12:00 and 4:00 Tuesday through Friday. Other duties would include:

Help the parents get food, drink, or any personal items they may need when asked.

Read and color with children of various ages.

Assist parents in getting clothing for children and sort children’s shoes and clothing by size.

Assist in various cleaning tasks such as picking up toys and maintaing a clean play area.

Be able to lift 10-20 pounds and walk up stairs.

Pass a background check.

Volunteers do not need to be experienced; we simply ask that you have a loving and willing heart for His kids. Volunteers will undergo training before entering the program.
